Lyrics

There were nights I almost broke
Smiling thin behind a joke
Shaking hands I tried to hide
Storms I carried deep inside
You could see what others missed
In the silence, in my fists
You didn't ask me to be strong
You just stayed when things felt wrong
When the ground was giving way
You were steady, you would stay
Not with noise, not with praise
Just your quiet kind of grace
Because you stayed, I found my feet
When I felt too weak to speak
When I thought I'd disappear
You were the reason I was here
Not with promises too loud
Not by pulling from the crowd
Just a hand I didn't see
Holding on to me
I was scared of letting show
All the cracks beneath the glow
But you never looked away
Never told me I should change
Little words you'd say at night
Turned my doubt into some light
Not a rescue, not a save
Just reminding me I'm brave
When I wanted just to run
You said"Stay. You're not done"
Simple words, but somehow they
Changed the way I face today
Because you stayed, I found my feet
When I felt too weak to speak
When I thought I'd disappear
You were the reason I was here
Not with promises too loud
Not by pulling from the crowd
Just a hand I didn't see
Holding on to me
I don't know if you can tell
How much you helped me heal
You didn't fix what I was in
You just helped me feel
And someday if you fall
If the walls around you crawl
I'll be steady, I'll remain
The way you stayed
Because you stayed, I stand this tall
You saw worth when I saw small
When I doubted who I'd be
You believed in me
Not with thunder, not with fame
Not by needing praise or name
Just by choosing not to leave
You made me believe
If I'm stronger than before
It's because you closed no door
You didn't try to lead the way
You just stayed
